Cody Garbrandt: I starch 1 more guy and I'm fighting Henry Cejudo

09/14/2019

“I believe I am the best, and you’ve got to prove to yourself that you are the best. It’s always me vs. me; it’s never about my adversary. If I’m good with myself, and I go in there at peace with myself, that guy across there is going to have a bad night. ... I starch one more guy, I’m back to fighting Henry. I’ve been up the mountain before, and I’m coming back.” 'No Love' has suffered back to back wrist injuries, and plans to return early in 2020.

Michel Pereira believes he's the successor to Anderson Silva

09/14/2019

“Yes, I do. I think about that a lot. I see it as a duty. MMA is becoming a little dull, because everyone wants to win. They take you down, submit you, and it’s over. I don’t mean to disrespect jiu-jitsu, I’m a BJJ guy, a blackbelt. But they’re too stuck with that mentality of winning and that’s it. Screw those who are watching you. I might lose a fight, but I’ll never let one of my fights be boring. I think about this new generation of fighters that is coming right now. I think about carrying Anderson’s legacy. In fact, I want to train with him in the future so I can really carry his legacy. It’s not easy to build a legacy like he did. In my opinion, he’s one of the greatest of all times, even though he’s not doing so well right now. But I do think about becoming the new Anderson Silva in the UFC.” Pereira fights Tristan Connelly on Saturday in Vancouver. h/t BE • Combate (original Portuguese)

Tyron Woodley: I wouldn't pee on Colby Covington if he was on fire

09/14/2019

“Colby does a good job of putting his own foot in his mouth. I know people say that about me, but he’s a complete dumbass. He’s talked himself out of three world title fights. He was supposed to fight me before I fought Till, he bitched out of that fight. He was supposed to fight me before I fought Usman, he bitched out of that fight. You guys can do the math as to what he did with the Usman fight. My goal is to get my belt back, so obviously Usman is going to be my top priority. If Colby want to get that ass whupped, he can get whupped up too. To be honest, I don’t hate him. Hate is a very strong word. I don’t hate anybody. I definitely don’t like him. If he was on fire, I wouldn’t pee on him." h/t MMA Fighting • Watch UFC Vancouver Fan Q&A

Josh Barnett's ‘Bloodsport’ = Pro Wrestling + MMA

09/14/2019

Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport II, which combines the MMA techniques of the shoot-fight style of pro wrestling with the crowd pleasing theatrics of rassling, takes place this Saturday night in Atlantic City, live on FITE.tv. Barnett: "I’ve always wanted to put something together that would follow up on my own vision and philosophy of professional wrestling. ... I was absolutely down to get involved, but I wanted to produce the event, have my hands in it, and I wanted to put my raison d’être for wrestling in it. ... We are not a gimmick. We’re just wrestlers. It’s a hard-hitting and competitive combat sport. If you want to see professional wrestling with all the glitz and gimmick stripped away from it, and see people trying to win and showing grit and guts, then tune in and watch. It’s not that we’re any less colorful, but this is stripping away all the superfluous of what people think professional wrestling is and returning to its roots." h/t SI

Misha Cirkunov using VR to ready for Jimmy Crute on Saturday

09/13/2019

“In training you can beat everybody, but how well can you perform under the pressure, under these lights, in front of all these people? That’s something I’ve been actually working on. I’ve been doing some tricks to simulate all this at home. I was using virtual reality... I put on the helmet and I see all these crowds, I’m in a world championship boxing ring and now it doesn’t phase me at all. Before it did. It’s just a matter of time. There is such a huge future with virtual reality. There are so many crazy games. For example when I play the Creed boxing game — I’m actually number one ranked now in the world for punching stats at one of the sessions there. Half an hour of putting the helmet on and using some wrist weights and doing movement and boxing game, I’m completely drenched. I’m so sweaty and at the same time so excited, I want to play more but I need to turn the AC on and the fans and bring a towel before I can continue. There is a huge future and opportunity in terms of learning because everything can be in 3D. Even just going over technique, it could be very interesting.” h/t MMA Mania • Watch open workout media scrum
